@Maddus Mattus: Prove your point to the guy who invented intermittent windshield wiper motors (vs the old constant slap) -- his non-patented invention was stolen by Ford after he presented his idea to them and was turned down.

With your perspective, the buyers of inventions with deep pockets can ALWAYS go around the inventor. They would have no legal recourse, either.

So you, inventor, go unpaid and your product yeilds profits to the deep-pocketed-pirate-corporation.

Nice plan if you're rich and immoral... like Ford was with this deal, and all of Wall Street every day...

Rule of Law is a concept that needs to be understood completely before patents can be demonized.
